911 call: “I saw a car he’s off the road, there’s an accident on the southbound on 190. He’s in the in like the rocks, you can barely see him but I saw him walking out.”

Murray said he was wearing a seat belt, wasn’t speeding and was not under the influence of anything.

“For everyone’s protection and to ensure that nobody could question, I asked them for a field breath test and they had to call another state police trooper who had that to come and I blew that with a 0.00, so there was no alcohol involved,” he said.

State Police spokesman David Procopio released a statement saying in part:

“There is no evidence to suggest the operator was speeding. There was no evidence of any causation factor other than the road condition. All the evidence indicates the cause of the crash was ice on the roadway.”

He may have not been drinking but those people are notorious for covering up for politicians. Even if he was not drinking who is to say he wasn’t under the influence of something else. Besides, it was dark out at the time of the crash. HOW could he see with no sunlight & no power (due to the power outage)?

Ryan,
You are right, we do not know what happened. As far as why we are so cynical… do you really need to ask? Just look around at the politicians who get away with tons of stuff & only when the public outcries so loudly that they cannot ignore it do they do something about it. Look at Edward Kennedy (rest his soul)… for all the good he did do look at what happened on that bridge so long ago. The world is abundant in cover ups or just looking past something.
